Obama’s Super Police What 0 did is Tyranny

Obama’s Super Police: “UPDATED AND BUMPED: There must be a sane, rational reason for this, right? Let’s try to figure out what that is. Down at the bottom of this post I am including info about Interpol from their website at the U.S. Dept. of Justice.

Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order ‘Amending Executive Order 12425.’ It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other ‘International Organizations’ as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.

By removing language from President Reagan’s 1983 Executive Order 12425,

this international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.…

And then comes December 17, 2009, and President Obama. The exemptions in EO 12425 were removed.

Section 2c of the United States International Organizations Immunities Act is the crucial piece.

Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable. (Emphasis added.)

Inviolable archives means INTERPOL records are beyond US citizens’ Freedom of Information Act requests and from American legal or investigative discovery (‘unless such immunity be expressly waived.’)

Property and assets being immune from search and confiscation means precisely that. Wherever they may be in the United States. This could conceivably include human assets – Americans arrested on our soil by INTERPOL officers.

The United States National Central Bureau (USNCB), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, serves as the point of contact for all INTERPOL matters involving the United States and its state, local and federal law enforcement officials.

The USNCB transmits requests for international investigative assistance to and from law enforcement officials in the United States and those in the other 187 INTERPOL member countries.

Assistance Provided by The USNCBThe USNCB provides assistance, without charge, to all U.S. federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, as well as to police authorities in other INTERPOL member countries seeking assistance from the U.S. law enforcement community. The USNCB is operational 24/7.

The USNCB provides a variety of services to the U.S. law enforcement community including, but not limited to:

Requests for criminal investigative assistance for both domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies

Secure communications with police officials in 185 countries

Information from INTERPOL’s Databases, including the equivalent of the ‘International NCIC’ with information on persons wanted in 187 countries, Stolen and Lost Travel Documents, Stolen Vehicles, DNA, and other criminal law enforcement information

Criminal History information and Record Checks from member countries

Tracing and locating fugitives wanted for prosecution and to serve sentences

Tracing and locating missing persons or abducted children

International fingerprint and DNA checks

Weapons and vehicle traces

Assisting with border security

Disaster victim identification

Locating stolen art and artifacts

The USNCB offers these services to the law enforcement community exclusively. Private Citizens or non-law enforcement entities seeking assistance should contact their local law enforcement agency or other appropriate state, local or federal authority.

I can not figure out why this agency would need diplomatic immunity. Anyone got any ideas?

My first thought had been that Interpol may have been involved in providing security for diplomats at the United Nations (in which case, maybe they would need to share diplomatic immunity in that capacity for some technical reason), but that does not seem to be the case.

The importance of this last crucial point cannot be understated, because this immunity and protection – and elevation above the US Constitution – afforded INTERPOL is likely a precursor to the White House subjecting the United States under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

INTERPOL provides a significant enforcement function for the ICC, just as our FBI provides a significant function for our Department of Justice.

29. Additionally, the Court will continue to seek the cooperation of States not party to the Rome Statute and to develop its relationships with regional organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the Arab League (AL), the African Union (AU), the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), ASEAN and CARICOM. We will also continue to engage with subregional and thematic organizations, such as SADC and ECOWAS, and the Commonwealth Secretariat and the OIF. This will be done through high level visits, briefings and, as appropriate, relationship agreements. Work will also be carried out with sectoral organizations such as IDLO and INTERPOL, to increase efficiency.

President George W. Bush rejected subjecting the United States to the jurisdiction of the ICC and removed the United States as a signatory. President Bill Clinton had previously signed the Rome Statute during his presidency.

Two critical matters are at play. One is an overall matter of sovereignty and the concept of the primacy of American law above those of the rest of the world. But more recently a more over-riding concern principally has been the potential – if not likely – specter of subjecting our Armed Forces to a hostile international body seeking war crimes prosecutions during the execution of an unpopular war.

President Bush in fact went so far as to gain agreement from nations that they would expressly not detain or hand over to the ICC members of the United States armed forces. The fear of a symbolic ICC circus trial as a form of international political protest to American military actions in Iraq and elsewhere was real and palpable.

President Obama’s words have been carefully chosen when directly regarding the ICC. While President Bush outright rejected subjugating American armed forces to any international court as a matter of policy, President Obama said in his 2008 presidential campaign that it is merely ‘premature to commit’ to signing America on.

However, in a Foreign Policy in Focus round-table in 2008, the host group cited his former foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power. She essentially laid down what can be viewed as now-President Obama’s roadmap to America rejoining the ICC.

His principal objections are not explained as those of sovereignty, but rather of image and perception.

Obama’s former foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power, said in an early March (2008) interview with The Irish Times that many things need to happen before Obama could think about signing the Rome Treaty.

‘Until we’ve closed Guantánamo, gotten out of Iraq responsibly, renounced torture and rendition, shown a different face for America, American membership of the ICC is going to make countries around the world think the ICC is a tool of American hegemony.

The detention center at Guantánamo Bay is nearing its closure and an alternate continental American site for terrorist detention has been selected in Illinois.

The time line for Iraq withdrawal has been set.

And President Obama has given an abundance of international speeches intended to ‘show a different face for America.’ He has in fact been roundly criticized domestically for the routinely apologetic and critical nature of these speeches.

President Obama has not rejected the concept of ICC jurisdiction over US citizens and service members. He has avoided any direct reference to this while offering praise for the ICC for conducting its trials so far ‘in America’s interests.’

The door thus remains wide open to the skeptical observer.

CONCLUSIONS

In light of what we know and can observe, it is our logical conclusion that President Obama’s Executive Order amending President Ronald Reagans’ 1983 EO 12425 and placing INTERPOL above the United States Constitution and beyond the legal reach of our own top law enforcement is a precursor to more damaging moves.

The pre-requisite conditions regarding the Iraq withdrawal and the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention facility closure will continue their course. Meanwhile, the next move from President Obama is likely an attempt to dissolve the agreements made between President Bush and other states preventing them from turning over American military forces to the ICC (via INTERPOL) for war crimes or any other prosecutions.

When the paths on the road map converge – Iraq withdrawal, Guantánamo closure, perceived American image improved internationally, and an empowered INTERPOL in the United States – it is probable that President Barack Obama will once again make America a signatory to the International Criminal Court.

It will be a move that surrenders American sovereignty to an international body who’s INTERPOL enforcement arm has already been elevated above the Constitution and American domestic law enforcement.

For an added and disturbing wrinkle, INTERPOL’s central operations office in the United States is within our own Justice Department offices.

They are American law enforcement officers working under the aegis of INTERPOL within our own Justice Department. That they now operate with full diplomatic immunity and with ‘inviolable archives’ from within our own buildings should send red flags soaring into the clouds.

This is the disturbing context for President Obama’s quiet release of an amended Executive Order 12425.

American sovereignty hangs in the balance if these actions are not prevented through public outcry and political pressure.

Some Americans are paying attention, as can be seen from some of the earliest recognitions of this troubling development here, here and here. But the discussion must extend well beyond the Internet and social media.

Ultimately, a detailed verbal explanation is due the American public from the President of the United States detailing why an international law enforcement arm assisting a court we are not a signatory to has been elevated above our Constitution upon our soil.

So, with the stoke of a pen, it seems, President Obama has put all of these agencies out of the purview of the U.S. Constitution (insofar as they work with Interpol … or would it be better said, INSOFAR AS THEY CLAIM TO BE WORKING AT THE BEHEST OF INTERPOL).

Interpol officers would have diplomatic immunity for any lawbreaking conducted in the US at a time when Interpol nations (like Italy) have attempted to try American intelligence agents for their work in the war on terror, a rather interesting double standard.

It also appears to mean that Americans who get arrested on the basis of Interpol work cannot get the type of documentation one normally would get in the discovery process, which is a remarkable reversal from Obama’s declared efforts to gain ‘due process’ for terrorists detained at Gitmo. Does the White House intend to treat Americans worse than the terrorists we’ve captured during wartime?

Interpol’s property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.

Interpol works closely with international tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court — which the United States has refused to join because of its sovereignty surrendering provisions, though top Obama officials want us in it). It also works closely with foreign courts and law-enforcement authorities (such as those in Europe that are investigating former Bush administration officials for purported war crimes — i.e., for actions taken in America’s defense).

Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?

I seem to recall the Left getting hysterical over the Patriot Act extensions that Obama finally backed. This gives Interpol a much wider operational latitude than anything contemplated in the Patriot Act, and with no accountability at all.

Can ANYTHING be done in CONGRESS to STOP this Executive Order???? The Order granting such POWER to INTERPOL, ABOVE our own law enforcement, ABOVE our Constitutional RIGHTS, IS Treasonous! We the PEOPLE of the United States of America do not give him the RIGHT to sell out OUR COUNTRY’s SOVREIGHNTY! IF “President” Obama makes such statements, they are NOT FOR AMERICA, but FOR HIS PERSONAL agenda, and the ENEMIES of AMERICA. THIS MUST BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!

HE has placed HIS SOLDIERS (NON-AMERICAN believers) in all these important posts, and it appears he intends to DESTROY our Democratic Republic. He has PROVED he is a LIAR when he swears an oath. He has NO INTENTION of LEADING OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTO A BETTER LIFE. HE HAS PLOTTED FROM BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE TO TAKE THIS NATION DOWN THROUGH TAKING CONTROL, BANKRUPTING AS MANY SECTORS AS POSSIBLE, AND SELLING US OUT TO WORLD ORDER, AGAINST THE PEOPLE’S WISHES. HE HAS HIS EVIL-MINDED CRONIES ASSISTING.

HE DOES NOT CALL TERRIORISTS WHEN THE JIHAD KILL SOLDIERS AT FT. HOOD, OR ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE NORTHWEAT AIRLINE, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HIS ENEMIES. THEY ARE HELPING HIM TAKE DOWN AMERICA. PERHAPS ONLY NOW IS HE BEGINNING TO REVEAL HIS TRUE MUSLIM COLORS. HE HATES AMERICA AND GOD JUST AS MCH AS THE TERRORTSTS DO. That is the ONLY thing that can explain Obama’s actions since he took office. He is not a fool, but very cunning. He knew FULL well the H.R. 1 would break the back of the DEBT, and render very LITTLE good. It was PLANNED that way. But HOW does he CONVINCE ALL the DEMOCRATS to BLINDLY vote WITH HIM, to sell out their county? Do they also HATE AMERICA? John Kerry MUST be in on the GAME PLAN, for leading the Global Warming Farce. We KNOW all his CZARS ARE working AGAINST our National interests.

WE MUST GET THE CZARS and ENEMIES OUT OF OFFICES QUICKLY if we are to stand a chance of survival. And we MUST OVERTHROW Obama’s Executive Order removing the restraints of Reagan’s EO 12425, and question OPENLY the NEED for Paragraph 28 and 29 in the ICC proposed Programme Budget for 2010. We are NOT a member of the Rome Statute, having been REMOVED by BUSH. BY WHAT REFERENCE ARE THESE GROUPS DOING IN THE ICC BUDGET PROPOSAL????
THEY SEEM TO BE BASED ON A DISMEMBERED UNITED STATES.

WE NEED TO STOP SEPARATING THE VARIOUS GROUPS IN OUR COUNTRY, AND UNITE IN ONE COMMON GOAL. WE ARE AMERICANS. WE MUST ALL ADOPT THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION OF OUR COUNTRY AS SET FORTH BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, AND NOT THIS WATERED DOWN “VERSION” CONGRESS IS TWISTING ABOUT TO SERVE SELFISH NEEDS. IT IS WEAKENING OUR COUNTRY. GOVERNMENT HAS GROWN TOO BIG TO BE EFFECTIVE, AND HAS LOST TOTAL SIGHT ON WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE NATION, BY BECOMING SELF-SERVING AND POWER HUNGRY.

WE MUST STOP AND GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING IF OUR COUNTRY IS TO BECOME STRONG AND STRIVING AS A NATION UNDER GOD. WITHOUT GOD AT THE HELM, IT FALLS…AS HAS BEEN EVIDENCED IN 2009. THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPLE ARE BELIEVERS IN GOD. WE RESENT A FEW POLITICIANS STEALING OUR CONSTITUTION, WRITTEN WITH THE CREATOR’S PRESENCE IN THIS COUNTRY’S LEADERSHIP CLEARLY DESIGNATED, AND TRYING TO DENY GOD’S RIGHT TO THIS LAND. THIS LAND WAS DEEDED FROM FRANCE WITH THE CREATOR, GOD AS PART OF THE DEED. GOD SHOULD BE CONSULTED ON EVERY DECISION PUT FORTH IN CONGRESS, AND WITH THE SUPREME COURT, AND IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION, AND WILL REMAIN SO.

GOD WILL NOT JUST “GO AWAY” FROM THIS LAND. HE RULES. AND HE WILL WIN THIS BATTLE IF YOU TRY TO FORCE HIS HAND.

CHRISTIANS ARE AWAKE AND READY TO STAND FIRM TO PROTECT HIS LAND, OUR LAND. WE GATHER STRENGTH DAILY. WE THANK YOU, PRESIDENT OBAMA, YOU HAVE CAUSED THIS NATION TO UNITE IN PRAYER, TO UNITE IN PRAISING GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS TO US IN THE PAST, AND THANK HIM FOR LEADING US IN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE. OUR GOD GROWS STRONGER, OUR HEARTS BURN WITH OUR LOVE AND JOY IN OUR ADORATION FOR HIS LOVE, COURAGE, STRENGTH, PURITY, AND TRUTH. CHRIST IS WITH US ALWAYS, OUR FRIEND, OUR SAVIOR. HE LIVES TODAY. MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING ALL AROUND US. THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR, LET THEM HEAR. THOSE WITH EYES, OPEN THEM, AND SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. MAY EVERYTHING WE DO BE TO THE GLORY OF GOD.

WE MUST RID THE IDOLS FROM OUR LAND THAT HAVE BROUGHT EVIL, AND HATE GOD, AND WISH TO TRY TO DESTROY HIM.

The American people were hoodwinked a long time ago, under ‘Honest Abe’ Lincoln, who replaced the original U.S. Constitution’s Thirteenth Amendment, with a completely different 13th Amendment, commonly referred to now as the Amendment which freed the slaves. However the original 13th amendment was never repealed and addresses the Constitution and disallowing the granting of royal titles (like czar).
This is the tip of the iceberg, but a place to start…
